Mission & Value
Abundant Rest, LLC is a therapeutic non‑profit organization founded by Lenzi Rowsey, MPA, MHFA, dedicated to educating underserved communities on how to maintain psychological and cardiovascular wellness. At the heart of the organization is the guiding principle of R.E.S.T. Rejuvenation Everyday Surrenders Time. This philosophy reflects the belief that intentional rest is not a luxury but a life‑preserving practice. By encouraging individuals to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and prioritize holistic self‑care, Abundant Rest, LLC aims to reduce the risk of life‑threatening conditions such as heart disease, strokes, and high blood pressure. The mission is simple yet profound: when we honor rest in our daily lives, we create space for healing, balance, and long‑term wellness.
The Origin Story
My name is Lenzi Rowsey, MPA, MHFA, and I am the CEO & founder of Abundant Rest, LLC. My work is rooted in a deep belief that healing is both a personal journey and a collective act of love. I am committed to supporting underserved African American communities through education, empowerment, and culturally grounded wellness practices that honor the whole person mind, body, and spirit.
A guiding scripture in my life is “They that wait on the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). This verse reflects the heart of my mission: restoration is possible, strength can be renewed, and rest is a sacred part of our healing. It reminds me that slowing down, listening inward, and trusting God’s timing are not signs of weakness but pathways to resilience.
My path to this work is deeply personal. Growing up in Memphis, Tennessee we were raised to turn heartache into something holy. I know what it means to navigate stress, grief, and the weight of responsibility while still trying to show up for others. After performing incalculable clinical research with Baptist Memorial Hospital's Cardiovascular Unit, it helped to shape my own journey toward holistic healing by creating the foundation of Abundant Rest, LLC. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into every space I enter, allowing me to connect with individuals and communities in a way that feels real, compassionate, and relatable.
Over the years, I have collaborated with numerous non‑profit organizations to expand access to mental health resources and strengthen community resilience in Memphis and surrounding areas. My first community collaboration in Memphis was with Planned Parenthood, where I had the honor of speaking to a group of mothers about daily self‑care practices that can help deter postpartum depression. It was a powerful experience that reminded me how essential it is to create safe, culturally responsive spaces for women to learn, heal, and feel supported. Sharing practical tools for emotional and physical wellness with new mothers deepened my commitment to community education and reinforced the mission of Abundant Rest, LLC: to ensure that every individual has access to knowledge, resources, and compassionate care during life’s most vulnerable moments. For my devoted community advocacy efforts this last decade, I was voted as an esteemed honoree for the Memphis Business Journal's 40 Under 4o Award, Class of 2024. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee I continue this mission by partnering with churches and faith‑based organizations spaces that hold deep cultural and spiritual significance within African American communities. I lead QPR suicide‑prevention trainings, Mental Health First Aid courses, and preventive health workshops that equip congregations with the tools to recognize distress, respond with care, and cultivate environments where wellness is normalized and celebrated.
My work is guided by a simple truth: Rest is not a reward; it is a right. Through Abundant Rest, LLC, I am committed to helping individuals reclaim that right and build healthier, more balanced lives rooted in restoration, connection, and hope.
